Lei Zhou is a Principal Tech Lead and System Solution Architect at Linaro, specializing in the intersection of high-performance automotive software and cybersecurity. With over 15 years of experience across leaders like Qualcomm, AMD, and BlackBerry, NARI (国电-南瑞), Lei bridges the gap between hardware capabilities and strict regulatory compliance. He currently leads automotive technology enablement at Linaro , driving Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures, RTOS performance benchmarking, and complex security deployments like ARM TrustZone, OP-TEE, and UNECE R155/R156 compliance. Lei is passionate about delivering open-source solutions that meet rigid functional safety and timing requirements.
Inherited Debt vs. Hardened Reality: A Tale of Two Auto-Grade Linux Stacks
Abstract: Achieving UN R155/R156 compliance in an AGL-based SDV requires more than just a secure kernel; it demands a hardened supply chain. This talk contrasts two real-world engagements to illustrate the journey from "Technical Debt" to "Type Approval."
First, we present anonymized Gap Analysis findings from a mass-production Automotive SoC BSP (Vendor A), revealing the hidden compliance blockers common in vendor-supplied Yocto layers—specifically massive out-of-tree kernel code, legacy TEE versions, and missing rollback counters.
Second, we showcase a success story (Project B) where we delivered a fully hardened, R155-compliant security architecture for a 5G Telematics Unit. We will detail the specific OP-TEE implementations used to close the gaps found in standard BSPs, including:
V2X Hardening: Implementing TLS with Mutual Authentication.
Data Privacy: Using Secure Storage with granular access control to protect Vehicle IDs and User Privacy.
Forensics: Building a tamper-resistant security incident logging system for R155 auditability.
Takeaway: A "Before & After" architectural blueprint for transforming a standard Vendor BSP into a compliant AGL product.
Build Security & Privacy Compliant Embedded System
ABSTRACT:
With emphasis on the ARM ecosystem, Linaro develops and optimizes open-source solutions for our customers and enables them to focus on business logic with faster time-to-market.
With growing market demands in securing open-source based embedded systems, Linaro is well positioned to offer privacy and security compliant solutions for commercial and industrial products with its full spectrum of product offerings from threat modelling, open-source security firmware stack to OS and platform security hardening, security certification support.
This session is an introduction to embedded security, presenting the fundamental (SoC) hardware security features as well as the software architecture and components that are at the core of modern secure and trusted systems.
A Unified Benchmark Framework for POSIX Compliant RTOS on ARM processor
While cyclictest focuses on scheduler latency, modern RTOSes require a more holistic view. This talk presents a new, unified benchmark framework for any POSIX-compliant RTOS(including AGL/PREEMPT_RT) on ARM. We go beyond cyclictest to measure critical E2E system latencies, including ISR, task preemption, IPC, and multi-core lock contention. By using a high-resolution & low overhead timer and collecting hardware performance counters, our framework provides a complete picture of RTOSes system's hard determinism and predictability.
